Overview
The Qi12E is the weatherproof version of the Qi12, for outdoor stages, rooftop venues, resort pool decks, school assembly areas, sports grounds and large alfresco spaces that need high output and controlled coverage. It keeps the Qi12's 1.4 inch compression driver on a rotatable 80 x 50 degree horn, the 12 inch woofer and 127.2 dB maximum SPL.
The marine plywood cabinet has a marine grade UV resistant polyurea coating, and the grille and all external fasteners are stainless steel, giving an IP55 rating. It uses the same HBRQi12 and VBRQi12 brackets as the indoor model and runs from a Quest QX or QXD amplifier. Available in black or white.

Forefront Tip
Outdoors, angle the Qi12E slightly down and seal the cable entry with a drip loop so water cannot track into the connection. Use stainless fixings into structure for the bracket, and at 24.8 kg plan it as a two person lift.
